CHINA
China is a huge country. There’s no ifs, buts, or coconuts about it. At 9,596,960 square kilometers – it weighs in behind only Russia, Canada, and the United States for sheer size. Couple this with China’s massive population and its jaw-dropping history, and you’ve got a recipe for a borderline overwhelming array of choices when it comes time to plan your trip to China.
China is the most populated country in the world, and probably one of the most sumptuous places in the world. To discover the Middle Kingdom is to marvel at scenery that seems to come out of a dream; to be ecstatic in front of an oriental nature underlined as it should be by centuries-old traditional infrastructures, and populated by inhabitants always delighted to meet tourists passing through. Since you have decided to set off on an adventure in this magnificent country, we have chosen to present our favorites and the most striking points of interest to be seen there! Ready to go? Go for it!
THAILAND
A major tourist destination, bordered by Myanmar to the west, Malaysia to the south, Cambodia to the southeast and Laos to the northwest, Thailand is a jewel of Southeast Asia. With a population and a surface area comparable to metropolitan France (68.3 million inhabitants over 514,000 km²), Thailand stretches from the Malay Peninsula to the massifs along the Burmese border to the north. As one of the newly industrialized countries and one of the "Asian Tigers", Thailand's economy is essentially based on mass tourism and the export of manufactured goods. One can only be charmed by coming to visit this country. Defining one's itinerary can be complex depending on the dates of one's stay because there are a lot of unavoidable things to do and to see: Bangkok and its temples, its bars and restaurants, its historical monuments, the region of Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya Park, the seaside resort of Pattaya, Phuket, the islands of the Gulf of Thailand (Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, Koh Tao), the Andaman Sea (Koh Phi Phi), etc… At the same time a giant open-air amusement park, which some people consider a disgrace and a dream destination for others for nature between countryside, mountains and dream beaches, Thailand - at the same time decried for being a hotbed of prostitution - attracts all kinds of people. Here is precisely our selection of the most beautiful sites to see when visiting Thailand.
